Very strong start to the album, but the second half is pretty weak. Dre got much better and later albums were more polished, but this album is a bit puerile and silly. Nothing wrong with having a little bit of childish fun, but there's not much of substance on the whole album. It's hard to come up with a fair rating for this album. The first 8 tracks are probably a four overall. Interesting, tuneful, enjoyable, and well produced. The second 8 are probably a one. I've gone for two overall, because overall, I think I'd turn this off before getting to the end.
